She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 1009: Underhanded Methods

Of course not.

"We still have to persuade Emperor Hades!"

"Then infuriate Emperor Hades and get locked up in confinement?"

Ember suddenly stopped talking, while Wraith patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since Emperor Hades has already made up his mind, we subordinates ought to stay close to him. Even if danger arises, we are the ones to perish."

Ember fell silent, paused for a moment, and said, "I’ll go make arrangements now."

...

The next day.

Before dawn, Lune had returned. He investigated Jasper Hawthorne’s affairs overnight and immediately came to report upon obtaining the results.

"Sis, things with The Hawthorne Group aren’t that simple, and Vincent Hawthorne taking over as CEO isn’t as straightforward either.

Back then, your husband thought you were kidnapped and left Southgate to search for you shortly after, causing trouble for The Hawthorne Group. The pharmaceutical factory incident indeed became more serious. But Aidan Lynch is capable, and Second Young Master Hawthorne stepped up at the crucial moment to manage the situation. At that time, The Hawthorne Group’s situation was gradually stabilizing, and everything was getting better."

Raina North brewed herself a cup of hot tea, inhaling the fragrant scent of the tea leaves: "Go on."

Last night, after investigating some issues with The Hawthorne Group, she focused on other matters, leaving the detailed investigation of The Hawthorne Group’s situation to Lune.

Although yesterday Aidan Lynch and Jasper Hawthorne chose to conceal the truth, she could still tell something was off from the incidents she witnessed.

Despite the news portraying The Hawthorne Group’s predicament as highly dangerous, Raina North still didn’t believe it warranted appointing a new CEO.

Especially when the new CEO is Vincent Hawthorne.

Though Vincent Hawthorne is a good husband and father, he isn’t Elias or Jasper Hawthorne’s father.

Particularly since Jasper Hawthorne harbors deep resentment towards his father, unable to converse properly even on a daily basis, he would never agree to let his father join The Hawthorne Group.

Initially, Raina North considered it might be due to Old Mrs. Hawthorne, given Susan Kensington controlled her.

However, upon further thought, she felt something was amiss.

If it truly were because of Old Mrs. Hawthorne, they wouldn’t have encountered Brother Strong causing trouble at The Hawthorne Villa yesterday.

No matter how dissatisfied Susan Kensington is with Old Mrs. Hawthorne, she is ultimately Vincent Hawthorne’s biological mother.

Even if Vincent Hawthorne isn’t great, he wouldn’t tolerate his wife treating his mother this way.

Moreover, if Vincent Hawthorne were to rise to power, he would deeply need Old Mrs. Hawthorne to maintain his reputation; otherwise, facing the gossip, his reputation would surely suffer.

Therefore, from these perspectives, Old Mrs. Hawthorne must be well cared for, not treated unfairly, especially in such a despicable manner.

This almost openly declares that Vincent Hawthorne has exhausted all means, hence releasing Susan Kensington to create chaos.

Detecting this unusual situation prompted Raina North to have Lune investigate.

Lune said: "Ever since three little ones were placed with the third child and secretly ran away from home, Second Young Master Hawthorne has searched everywhere but couldn’t find them. Susan Kensington somehow got wind of this and found three kids who resembled the little ones closely, using injected drugs to threaten Second Young Master Hawthorne."

Second Young Master Hawthorne had no choice but to follow Susan Kensington’s orders, go to nightclubs to drown his sorrows, and flirt with a bunch of young models. After this series of actions, Second Young Master became seen as hopeless by everyone.

This disheartened the shareholders who supported Second Young Master after your husband left. In this situation, Special Assistant Lynch was struggling alone and had no choice but to agree to Vincent Hawthorne becoming the new CEO of The Hawthorne Group."
